I'll take the highway to Northern Sunnyslope
Slip into evening along Burch Mountain Road
Roll down the windows, embrace the Summer cold
These empty bodies converse until the dawn
Inside a painting, the sky falls to the sun
Kissed in the valley, the nights of being young
Now we're drifting away
'Cause we all hesitate
Three cheers for the weekend
Too old to believe it
We sink into our skins and let the backdrop take us in
We won't keep a record
Ignore what we all heard
You picked up on the melody but couldn't find the words
Stressing for money, the times we must have missed
Twenty and lonely, a quarter-life crisis
We're floating backwards, I never took the hint
Unsatisfied with life
(I need to stop it but I don't want to)
Hooked into the high
(Another shadow of what we might do)
You know that I can shoulder the blame, two years and nothing's changed
Now we're drifting away
'Cause we all hesitate
Three cheers for the weekend (but we're)
Too old to believe it (in here)
We sink into our skins and let the backdrop take us in
We won't keep a record (forget)
Ignore what we all heard (repent)
You picked up on the melody but couldn't find the words
(We're shedding all of our skin
We're starting over again
We're keeping all of our friends 'til the end)
I'll take the highway to Northern Sunnyslope
Slip into evening, follow winding roads
As we grow older, I wish we could run home
